Populist forces are becoming increasingly relevant across the
world, and studies on populism have entered the mainstream of the
political science discipline. However, so far no book has
synthesized the ongoing debate on how to study the populist
phenomenon. This handbook provides state of the art research and
scholarship on populism, and lays out, not only the cumulated
knowledge on populism, but also the ongoing discussions and
research gaps on this topic. The Oxford Handbook of Populism is
divided into four sections. The first presents the main conceptual
approaches on populism and points out how the phenomenon in
question can be empirically analyzed. The second focuses on
populist forces across the world and includes chapters on Africa,
Australia and New Zealand, Central and Eastern Europe, East Asia,
India, Latin America, the Post-Soviet States, the United States,
and Western Europe. The third reflects on the interaction between
populism and various relevant issues both from a scholarly and
political point of view. Amongst other issues, chapters analyze the
relationship between populism and fascism, foreign policy, gender,
nationalism, political parties, religion, social movements and
technocracy. Finally, the fourth part includes some of the most
recent normative debates on populism, including chapters on
populism and cosmopolitanism, constitutionalism, hegemony, the
history of popular sovereignty, the idea of the people, and
socialism. The handbook features contributions from leading experts
in the field, and is indispensible, positioning the study of
populism in political science.
